During the summer of 2007, Savannah Mayor Otis Johnson launched the Healthy Savannah 2012 Initiative, with the aim of making Savannah a healthier place to live by the year 2012. How? By increasing the opportunities for citizens to engage in physical activity and consume a nutritious, balanced diet.
